"Reef Madness" Oil Tanker
I modelled this oil tanker for a short animated film named "Reef Madness", which was produced by my talented fellow students as a final film project at Griffith University.
The brief called for a simple, clean design to fit with the cartoony aesthetic of the film. As such I kept the texturing (completed in Substance Painter) subtle also; just a bit of grunge patterning to break up the flat colours a bit.
The film was rendered using Pixar's Renderman. It was a fun project and a good learning experience as I got to learn a bunch of new tools and techniques, and we're really happy with how the film came out.
Feel free to check out the trailer for "Reef Madness" linked on this page!

"Reef Madness" Oil Tanker bridge interior - controls on all the chairs, buttons, levers etc. Roof is on a layer for ease of access while animating. Screens are just white with some incandescence, contents were then overlayed in post.
